About

Cha Do Raku serves as a sanctuary for those interested in the nuances of traditional Japanese tea preparation. The menu centers on a vast selection of high-quality imported leaves, where precise brewing draws out deep, subtle aromatics in every cup. Alongside these tea offerings, the kitchen prepares homemade comfort food rooted in seasonal sensibilities. Savory dishes such as ochazuke anchor the selection, presenting a bowl of rice submerged in fragrant broth that provides a gentle, warming flavor profile. The space maintains an intimate character, keeping the focus entirely on the sensory experience of the tea and food. Every item reflects a steady dedication to authentic flavor balance and traditional presentation, resulting in a distinct environment where the quiet complexity of Japanese ingredients takes precedence.

We've been to this tea shop twice in a week & absolutely love it! It is very authentic & a little piece of Japan right in Montreal. They have a great variety of imported teas within different price ranges. We did the tearoom at the back both times & is a lovely experience. The owner, I believe her name is Chiro, is very friendly & welcoming. She explains the teas very well & how to make them. The desserts are wonderful & such great quality. They list the ingredients in the menu which is very nice as you rarely see that. We will keep coming back!

Their tea selection is huge & we ended up choosing what the owner recommended. The green tea was mind blowing. The tea is exceptional quality.

We also got 2 desserts & the complement the tea so well. One of them is rice mochi & the other is a creamy mousse cup. It feels like a little piece of Japan in Montreal. A truly amazing experience. However, seats are limited so you might have to squeeze in a little bit. Love the atmosphere, hospitality & tea!

This particular tea distributor offers workshops on tea tasting. I hadn't been there before the workshop, but the owner was kind & knowledgeable & she even offered scrumptious homemade treats accompanying the teas we were trying out. It was a great experience & would 100% go there again. *** Ce distributeur de thé offre des ateliers de dégustation de thé. C'était la première fois que j'y allais & la propriétaire nous a servi des désserts faits à la main pour accompagner les thés. Quel délice! :3 J'ai adoré mon expérience & je recommande ce magasin de thé & ses ateliers à 100% pour les curieux.

A neighborhood hidden gem with cozy vibes, friendly service, a large selection of teas, & delicious, innovative yet authentic desserts. Highly recommend the mochi dessert plate!

L'espace est intimiste & restreint. Toute réservation est recommandée si vous souhaitez avoir de la chance de vous y asseoir en fin de semaine. La nourriture est délicieuse & délicate. & que dire des choix de thés offerts. Je m'attendais à ce que le ochazuke (risotto japonais) soit fade, mais c'était tout le contraire. C'est super de trouver des places avec des plats & desserts japonais, sans que ce soit limité aux éternels sushis. Note: ils offrent des options sans gluten. Pour une première expérience, c'était fantastique. J'ai hâte d'y retourner essayer les autres items de leur carte.
